Merchant and doctor

Chapter 40 Fire moxibustion

Although approaching old age, Qi Shangqi is not conservative at all in terms of medical philosophy and clinical practice. He has been trying, exploring, and summing up experience with new acupuncture techniques such as electroacupuncture, electromagnetic acupuncture, and audio pulse acupuncture... , as long as it can ensure the safety of patients and it is effective, he has always been willing to come and study with great concentration.

In the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Provincial People's Hospital, Qi Shangqi and his students occasionally use new electromagnetic acupuncture techniques to seek better therapeutic effects whenever they encounter symptomatic patients.

The so-called "Golden Needle Crossing the Sea" is a relatively novel acupuncture technique that combines traditional acupuncture and modern acupuncture techniques with complementary advantages.

"Golden Needle Crossing the Sea" acupuncture requires doctors to have relatively comprehensive and superb acupuncture skills. Traditional acupuncture experts may not understand electromagnetic acupuncture techniques. Doctors who are proficient in electromagnetic acupuncture techniques are often very young. The performance is mediocre. As a result, there are only a handful of doctors in the field of Chinese medicine who are truly proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion.

Qi Shangqi had tried this extremely brilliant acupuncture technique several times among his relatives, but unfortunately, in the end, it turned out to be neither a donkey nor a horse. In desperation, Qi Shangpo could only choose to give up temporarily.

To this day, Qi Shangqi has never successfully cured a single patient with the "Golden Needle Crossing the Sea" acupuncture technique.

Nowadays, the fledgling Bian Mu even brazenly proposes to use the "Golden Needle Crossing the Sea" acupuncture technique to treat critically ill patients like Zhu Dingding. While annoyed, Qi Shangqi is deeply shocked.

After calming down, Qi Shangqi asked in a deep voice: "Hearing your tone, you are very sure?! Then let's start now?"

"With you and the teachers in charge, I will try the diagnosis. If there is any misoperation, please criticize and correct me." Bian Mu replied calmly.

"Doctor Zhao! Then please ask the head nurse to prepare the corresponding equipment for him!" Qi Shangqi's qualifications are there, so it's no problem to order the resident doctor Dr. Zhao.

Dr. Zhao never dreamed that Bian Mu would take Mr. Qi down with just a few words, and he didn't dare to say anything, no matter how reluctant he was, so he hurriedly asked the head nurse to be Bian Mu's assistant.

"Head nurse! This ward has oxygen supply equipment. I need to use an open flame later. To avoid an explosion, see if you can temporarily adjust a ward without oxygen equipment. In addition, you have to help me prepare three charcoal braziers Smaller ones are fine, and let the nurses go outside to buy some charcoal, preferably smokeless charcoal, it doesn’t matter if it’s expensive, I can reimburse you, if our hospital has a carpentry room, please ask them to cut a woodworking board for me, can I Just bear the weight of the patient, and the length and width should refer to Zhu Dingding’s height. I will measure the size later and draw a sketch, and you can hand it over to the carpenter. It doesn’t cost much. If our hospital doesn’t have a carpentry room, then Just go to the street and find a master carpenter." Bian Mu told the head nurse one by one of his requirements.

The head nurse was so confused, she couldn't help but look at the resident doctor Zhao a few more times.

Doctor Zhao was full of doubts, so he couldn't help but look at Qi Shangqi to see his reaction.

Qi Shangqi is an expert, knowing that Bian Mu is good at what Bian Mu asks for, he smiled, and said to the head nurse: "Your hospital carpentry room is doing pretty well, just prepare according to what Doctor Bian said!"

"Okay! Let's do it now. There are two spare wards in the west. The oxygen supply channel has been shut down for a long time. It can be done there, Xiao Ding. You can ask two intern nurses to clean up ward 522." After that, the head nurse Ask the nurse to find a pen and paper and ask Bian Mu to draw a sketch.

Knowing that the head nurse and the others don't understand anything, after drawing the wood board, Bian Mu simply put the size and material of the charcoal brazier, the charcoal specification, the type and quantity of moxibustion strips, the quantity of ginger slices, the degree of strong liquor... etc. He pulled out a list and handed it to the head nurse.

After browsing through it carefully, and after checking it was correct, the head nurse called two female nurses to go out to prepare related equipment.

Bian Mu was not idle either, walked to Zhu Dingding's side and began to feel his pulse.

The ward was quiet, and the old man on the bed next to him seemed to feel the tense atmosphere. He quietly took off his earphones, turned off the entertainment software on his phone, and quietly went out to visit other wards.

The ward suddenly became extremely silent.

Except for Bian Mu, everyone has their own thoughts, their eyes, expressions, demeanor... are different, but there is one thing similar: serious questioning eyes!
It took a long time for Bian Mu to diagnose the pulse. Except for Qi Shangqi, everyone in the audience thought that Bian Mu was pretending to be 13.

"It's almost exactly the same as I imagined. Uncle Kui was really angry. The attack was strong enough. It's okay! He didn't kill him, otherwise, Zhu Dingding would have been crippled at that time, um... all the meridians are fine. What a blessing it was to be repaired! Sigh! To leave room for others is to leave a way out for oneself..." Bian Mu thought to himself.

Zhu Dingding's daughter-in-law stared at Bian Mu's every move, and she was still a little nervous. Although she had no education, she had a lot of life experience. At this moment, her mind finally turned around: Bian Mu definitely has something!
"We'll negotiate with them later on, at least let Dingding wake up first." Zhu Dingding's daughter-in-law thought to herself.

Inspection, pulse diagnosis, deduction diagnosis... Waiting for Bianmu's diagnostic procedures to be almost completed, the female nurse surnamed Ding came to report that Ward 522 had been furnished.

"Ms. Zhao! Then let's change the ward!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

The resident doctor Zhao was holding back the feeling of discomfort that could not dissipate for a while, Bian Mu discussed it with her, but she was really not in the mood to talk to him.

"Xiao Ding! Withdraw the oxygen first, observe the patient's vital signs, and prepare to transfer to the ward in 10 minutes!"

"Yes!" With a promise, the female nurse surnamed Ding directed the two intern nurses to make various preparations for transferring the ward.

At this moment, the head nurse of the 5th floor ward came back.

"Doctor Bian! The wood boards have been placed in Ward 522. Charcoal is not very easy to buy. It is estimated that there will be a lot of smoke and dust. I wonder if it will bring some danger to the patients? For example, short-term hypoxia or something."

"It's okay! Let me figure out a way! Then you observe here first, and I will accompany Mr. Qi and other teachers to go over there first to prepare." As he spoke, Bian Mu respectfully moved Qi Shangqi and others Please leave Ward 517.

……

Ward 522 is very spacious, and Bian Mu suspects that it is probably a temporary emergency refuge in the 5th floor ward area. After asking Qi Shangqi and others to be seated, Bian Mu didn't say much, picked up a bottle of high-grade liquor, unscrewed the lid and poured it downwards. On top of the charcoal, before the liquor evaporated, Bian Mu put on disposable PE gloves and rummaged through the charcoal pile to pick out a few pieces of dry charcoal that hadn't been dripped with liquor, and set up a shelf in an empty charcoal brazier.

The head nurse was quite reliable in her work. She was worried that the charcoal would not be easy to ignite, so she carried a small bottle of gasoline from somewhere, and there was an electronic combustion gun beside the charcoal brazier.

He opened the gasoline bottle and poured some gasoline, fearing that it would cause a fire, Bian Mu then deliberately carried the small gasoline bottle to the bathroom and put it on the ground next to the toilet.

Turn around and quickly walk back to the charcoal brazier, lightly press the ignition switch, and the flames burst out with a "swoosh...".

Qi Shangqi and the others hadn't seen anyone light charcoal for a long time, and when they saw the flames rising, the expressions on the faces of the people couldn't help showing all kinds of worried expressions, and this scene made Bian Mu laugh secretly.

A slender young female nurse responded quickly, and quickly opened all the doors and windows to disperse the smoke and dust in the room as much as possible.

Not long after, people found that Bian Mu had already lit all three braziers. Strange to say, except for the faint pine fragrance, there was no smoke or dust in the room.

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other a few times, feeling that the young male Chinese medicine doctor in front of him was a bit weird!
